Hello...
My old man is starting another business and I said about getting a retro van that would turn heads, meaning people would look at the advertising on the motor.
What do you reckon? It can't be too pricey or rare as poor quality wobbly children's play pony curse word, because parts availibility would be a joke.
Cheers!
Either that or something modern with a set of after market wheels etc? To make it stand out.

Thanks for the replies. So resourceful you lot!
Forgot to mention, it's going to be a valeting van! So really it has to be minty.
I'm thinking more of a classic, that red veedub van looks smart. I think a fiesta size van would bee too small.
A side load door would be good, even a pickup would be ok I think!

Using an retro van is good for publicity. The guy who owns this says it makes his company more noticed.

Finding a pre '85 van will be a problem! Most get bashed about don't they? Unless you're willing to restore one. Maybe find a camper conversion thats been used gently by its elderly owners. Oddly enough I have a thing for japanese vans.... Toyota Datsun E20 Honda TN Mitsubishi L300

What the UAZ? Not sure, but I know they're still in production if you were interested, so they shouldn't be too hard to find in Russia, here's their english language homepage... www.uaz.ru/eng/they still make the old red army 4x4 as well, and they seem to have a new model.
